With Windows XP is it possible to give a limited user; ie. me, administrator rights over one particular folder; ie. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9?

At the moment I have to log onto my Dad's userspace every time I make changes or install addons.

Just thaught it might be useful...

Offer to pay at least half of your Dad's telephone bill allowing you Internet access, and he may come to some amicable arrangement with you... Wink

nope, the XP limited account to do exactly that, prevent users (the age group is minors) rom downloading anything bad or illegal, or make "system wide" changes to the computer.

sick of being a limited user? let me know and i can fix it, A: legally, and B: no hacking/cracking invloved. Tongue

wow that sounded like a radio ad...
